Kangar Council aims to make Simpang Empat a well-planned township

KANGAR: The Kangar Municipal Council (MPK) aims to develop Simpang Empat into a well-planned township, its president, Rosley Mat, said today.

He said, however, that this could only be realised if the federal government approved an application for a RM4.9-million allocation for the town's development.

"MPK plans to put up a three-storey building to house traders and also for a car park as the first step to develop the town," he said in response to the proposal by Simpang Empat assemblyman Nurulhisham Yaakob for MPK to develop the township.

Rosley said Simpang Empat was strategically located as it was on the tourist route to Langkawi and it could serve as a stopover. - Bernama
